TREASURER’S REPORT: $1,704 in the treasury as of today. Three events were reported on: The Red & Blue tournament brought in $97.00; The Tennis Pizza Social brought in $42.90; but the Picnic spent $194 more than collected which was taken from the treasury. The treasurer asked that people submit their requests for checks in advance of when they need them.

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS: Clay Marohnic, and Carol and Pete White.

FACILITIES CONDITIONS: Joan Gross requested again that the green “kitchen” line be painted, regulation width, on all paddle tennis courts the same. A vote was taken to approve this action, the vote was in favor, and she will present that to the Recreation Department.

TENNIS CLINICS: No one has contacted Joyce Lazarus to attend, so there is no clinic set up. Joyce was asked to phone Steve, our visiting pro.

LA VIDA DOLCE: Joan Gross explained the planned menu and suggested $25 per ticket. Debi Vail made a motion that the club pay for the DJ and the wine, to a maximum of $400. It was decided that the tickets will be $20 for members and $25 for guests, and a flyer will go out soon.

VILLAGE OLYMPICS: Teams may have to be balanced out, to make them more competitive.
